Reyes is not starting Saturday against the Pirates.

Reyes has a modest .634 OPS over his last 14 games. He'll sit Saturday, with Josh Naylor starting in right field.

Carpenter went 0-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Angels on Friday.

The veteran infielder's .218 average still leaves plenty to be desired, but his penchant for drawing free passes has consistently kept him on the basepaths nonetheless. Carpenter has a solid 14.2 percent walk rate and .332 on-base percentage for the season, but a career-high 24.5 percent strikeout rate is one of the main conspirators in his mediocre season at the plate.

Dickerson went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run and six RBI in Friday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.

Called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day, Dickerson celebrated his return to the majors by setting a franchise record for RBI in a Giants debut, highlighted by a third-inning grand slam. The 29-year-old is likely to see consistent playing time in the short term while Steve Duggar (back) is on the shelf, and Dickerson's career .256/.325/.449 slash line in 317 big-league plate appearances suggests he could be useful in deeper fantasy formats.

Ozuna went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Angels.

All eyes were on Albert Pujols in his return to St. Louis, but it was Ozuna who stole the show with RBI singles in the fourth and seventh innings and a solo shot in the sixth. The 28-year-old now boasts a .306/.342/.444 slash line in June with three homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs and a surprising four steals in 19 games.

Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Dodgers.

The right fielder's sixth-inning blast was one of only three hits the Rockies managed against Dodgers starter Walker Buehler. Blackmon is wielding a hot bat with six of his 18 homers this season coming in his last eight games. He's added a .338/.384/.658 slash line with 49 RBI and 53 runs scored in 59 games overall.

Turner was ejected from Friday's game against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Turner was tossed following a Cody Bellinger home run, as he evidently said something to the home-plate umpire from the dugout that warranted his removal from the contest. Turner went 0-for-2 prior to getting ejected.

Dickerson was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Dickerson appears in line to get reps in the outfield with Steven Duggar (back) landing on the injured list Friday. Dickerson struggled at the dish earlier this season with the Padres, hitting just .158 with two RBI over 12 games, but he'll aim for a better outcome this time around.

Winker is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers.

He gets the day off despite a righty (Chase Anderson) being on the mound for the Brewers and Winker's dynamite 1.571 OPS over his last five games. Derek Dietrich moves out to left field in his absence, with Jose Peraza starting at second base.

Vientos went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI for Low-A Columbia on Thursday.

The homer was his sixth of the season, but his first since May 24. Vientos has struggled in his first look at full-season ball, and things haven't been getting better for him -- he's slashing .255/.280/.404 through 12 games in June, and his 1:14 BB:K is a far cry from the strong plate discipline he displayed last year in rookie ball. Vientos is still only 19, so he still has plenty of time to figure things out, but a second-half turnaround would go a long way toward restoring his prospect luster.

Pederson hit a two-run home run in his only at-bat in a win against the Giants on Thursday.

Pederson once again started the game on the bench with a left-hander on the mound but was called upon to pinch hit for Ross Stripling against right-handed reliever Sam Dyson in the seventh. He responded by lacing an opposite-field homer to plate the decisive runs in a game that the Dodgers ultimately pulled out by one. Though he has settled into a platoon role this season, Pederson has nonetheless been an integral part of the Dodgers' offense, contributing 20 long balls and 36 RBI while scoring 44 runs.
